BigGator5 On The Radio – McCollum, Scott, And Don’t Tread On Me

By: BigGator5 (Diary)  |  August 28th, 2010 at 10:00 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Yesterday*, I tuned into the local radio talk show hosted by Bud Hedinger and he was talking about Bill McCollum endorsing Rick Scott. It blew my mind, because he was saying everything I wanted to say about it all. So without further ado, here is Bud Hedinger saying everything I wanted to say about McCollum endorsing Scott:

Now after this, I’m no longer going to talk about the primary. This is my last word. It is done and over with. I still haven’t made up my mind if I will vote for Rick Scott or not. I may just end up voting for none of the above when it comes to the governor’s race. However I will give Rick Scott a chance to win me over.

Here are some links for you:

    Bill McCollum can’t endorse Scott, because McCollum believes Rick Scott is a criminal and to endorse him would betray McCollum’s principles. (“It would make a lie out of everything he claimed in the campaign about Rick Scott.”)

    Sure, that all makes sense if you believe that McCollum is, in fact, the most honest politician since Abraham Lincoln, and (a) everything he said in the campaign reflected Bill’s actual beliefs, rather than being…shaded…in his own favor during a hard fought primary campaign, and (b) furthermore, that those claims were all, in fact, 100% true.

    Well…a larger percentage of the FLGOP electorate have adjudged that either or both of those propositions is untrue (and, I believe, (a) never WAS true and ol’ Bill knows it; especially given Bill’s defense of Rick Scott and his company from the House floor, DURING the actual events in question). So…it’s time for McCollum to walk it back.

    Defending a lie — (or, defending an exageration as the absolute truth) — is not “integrity”. It’s stiffnecked jack*** stubbornness and pride.

    I’ll note it took habitual sore loser Bill McCollum two solid weeks back in 2004 to endorse Martinez, after a similar primary loss for this same seat.
